Objective: To evaluate the long term results of intravaginal functional electrical stimulation therapy in women with over-active bladder. Study Design: Functional electrical stimulation was applied in 65 cases with over active bladder and 52 of them completed 3 years follow-up period. The cases were evaluated by urinary diary and multichannel urodynamics. Urinary symptoms and quality of life scores were recorded before and after the treatment. Results: The quality of life scores before and after functional electrical stimulation (1 week, 1 year and 3 years) were 13.1 +/- 7.45, 3.21 +/- 4.71, 2.52 +/- 2.93, 3.26 +/- 4.28, respectively (P<0.05). The urinary symptoms (urgency, urge incontinence, frequency) were also significantly improved after functional electrical stimulation. Conclusion: Functional electrical stimulation is a simple, non-invasive, cheap and effective therapeutic option for detrusor over activity. The quality of life scores of our cases were improved significantly even 3 years after the therapy.
